Question

In an engine, there are cylinders where the pistons travel up and down. The cylinders fill with a gas the eventually ignites which creates the combustion needed for the engine to stay running. A ford motor has 8 cylinders, each with 5in diameter, each with a 5in diameter and a height of 8in. What is the total volume, all the cylinders combined, in the engine?

Answer 1

V=1256.64

Explanation:

The volume for a cylinder is calculated with this equation

V=πr2*h

Radius=2.5

Height=8

Plug everything in

V=π(2.5)(2)(8)

V=157.08

Multiply by the amount of cylinders

V=157.08*8

V=1256.64
